This makes getting to Nantucket a breeze as well as fun. The regular ferries can take around 2 hours to make the trip and can accommodate just about any request you have. You can choose to bring a bike or even your car if you need to. However, if you do plan on bringing your car, be sure to make a reservation for it as far in advance as you can since space is usually limited. While on the ferry be sure to relax and enjoy the ride to Nantucket. If you are getting to Nantucket and in a hurry, be sure to look into their new fast ferries.

One company you should consider using, whether you take a regular ferry or the fast ferry, is Hy-Line Cruises out of nearby Hyannis. They are focused on amazing service and customer comfort in not only their vessels but their docks as well. Be sure to stop by their Hy-Line Landing for all of your needs before getting to Nantucket. They have an amazing coffee shop, complete with a wonderful view of the docks as well as an ice cream parlor and an unbelievable raw bar with the most delicious lobster roll. Choosing to take a ferry is the most economical way of getting to Nantucket.
